Regina O'Connell

She graduated from Sacred Heart School in Yonkers and was a life-long parishioner of Sacred Heart Church.

She worked in the medical profession most of her career, including; Yonkers General Hospital, United Methodist Church Home, and various private medical offices.

Her favorite hobbies included babysitting her many grandchildren and having sleepover and tea parties with the little ones. She also loved going to the beach and spending time with her high school classmates, the BW’s. One of the accomplishments Regina was most proud of was completing the Yonkers Marathon in 1986. Above all, she enjoyed spending time with her family and celebrating their accomplishments.

We are grateful for the entire staff of St. Cabrini Nursing Home for their tremendous care and compassion to our mom over the years, and most especially, in her final days.

Our family cherished and loved our mom deeply and we will all miss her immensely.
